It looks like a car that would have been designed 15 years ago if someone had told the designer to design a Lamborghini for the future.
Description: The supercar will use a range-extended powertrain sending permanent electric drive to all four wheels, with a Wankel rotary gasoline engine powering a generator to feed the lithium ion batteries. Bris...

Braxton you better take that back before Papa No Pistons gives you a stern talking to.
And the Rotary can be efficient at a specific rpm, which is ideal in this case.
Woah rotarys aren't even efficient so why use one unless its for the compact design
Description: The Namir's hybrid powertrain combined an 813cc Wankel engine and four electric motors, with peak output rated at 400 horsepower and 0-60mph at 3.5 seconds. Top speed was said to be 186mph, but w...

@Dustin no lm talking about the Bristol Fighter its made here in England they mentioned it at the beginning of the article.Its been around a while now
Read the article! The Rotary is used to power the batteries. The batteries is powering the electric motors, which produce the mentioned 400 hp.
I heard that the only big problem with a rotary was it doesn't combust fuel very well because of the lower pressures it creates or something like that.
Oh my bad it actually has 4 electric motors!!! Why does it need a rotary engine? Lol
A rotary hybrid? Sounds like Mazda's new RX-7 about to come out. 400hp, that's it? I used to own a RX-8 that I put a twin turbo kit on it and it made 450whp. You think with 2 electric motors and a rotary engine the hp out put should be over 500?!
I like their Viper powered super car with the 8.0 litre twin turbo v10 with over 1000bhp.No one has tested it tho to my knowledge
800cc is less than 1L engine. Thats a friggin bike engine. So about 10x smaller than an SRT power plant.
That's almost the size of the SRT10 with 50% less horsepower I think the whole idea of this car needs to be rethought I don't have anything against hybrids that aren't a Chevy Volt that the government helps pay for But this seems like a step backward
Thoughts numbers don't sound too spectacular I know it's a rotary not a piston engine but is the wankel really that inefficient? I could've sworn there was an article about an 1800hp rotary supercar not too long ago with a sub 3 second 0-60
Would look 20x better if the food didnt look like a triangle and that black triangle wasnt on the hood
I hate when car manufacturers try to make electric vehicles look like electric vehicles. That is why I love the tesla
The two women are fighting for the car...but at the end it's their husbands who pay for it.
Okay that was weird dude you just read my mind I was thinking it looked like a power ranger too
Honestly until battery technology improves supercar and electric do not belong together
